SWASHBUCKLING! PLANK-WALKING! TIMBER-SHIVERING!

Hidden treasure, ancient curses, mythical sea creatures, uncharted waters, and rip-roaring adventure across the seven seas-The Black Beacon Book of Pirates carries a clandestine cargo of timber-shivering, plank-walking, and swashbuckling goodies. You'll be entertained by tall tales of yore recounted over the the drunken din in the dingiest of taverns, you'll embark upon the most perilous of undertakings on the high seas, and you'll be reminded that even today, the legacy of pirates and privateers of a bygone age follows our every step like a shadow-but wait, what's that behind you? It's too dark to be a mere shadow...and what's that in its hand? No, not in its hand, but instead of a hand! A steely hook ready to strike! There's only one way to escape. Turn the page and set sail! This book is your helm. If you stick to it and hold fast, you might just make it back to port alive, me hearty!
